We are in the process of mitigating a large scale DDoS attack against our global DNS platform. We expect service to return to normal very shortly. Stay tuned and let me know if you have any questions. ted@namecheap.com
I'd also like to add that we have redunancy on our DNS V1. I advise switching over to this, in the meantime. Please find the tutorial here: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx...

While it's not a customer friendly viewpoint, it's not exactly what happened here. You have to consider what is being provided and how much was paid into it for said service. Had they been paying a lot of money for solid DNS I could agree with you, but they weren't. It's a completely free service. With an extremely low price for domains. Even though it's become almost a standard for domain registrars to provide DNS,…
It's not DDOS mitigation or H/A, or some other high end feature.

ETA how long it will take for the transfer to be completed? I know that editing host records usually is instantaneous (unlike other providers), but we're talking about changing the DNS servers here.
I am monitoring a few servers with DNS records. And the last week I have found all the servers unresponsive (by DNS, not tried directly) from time to time. And after an extensive amount of troubleshooting I am unable to find a problem.

You guys should add an option for us to put in an optional backup DNS record in the settings.

It generally takes less than an hour.
Many of us already switched to other DNS servers during the panic, and we'd like to know whether you'd suggest we reverse that change in order to jump to v1 instead for a quicker result. Thank you.
